Paul Manafort is an Incompetent Boob

The best word to describe Paul Manafort is "boob." He's in way over his head, simple things are getting past him, and he has no idea what he's doing. He may have gotten it right when the Trump campaign stopped the pathetic #nevertrump movement in its tracks, but, come on. That was a gimme. You're supposed to handle things like that while overseeing the quality of the convention program.

Trump's campaign chairman Paul Manafort continued to refuse to acknowledge Wednesday morning that parts of Melania Trump's convention speech were lifted lines, saying the controversy is "not meaningful at all."

"The speech was very effective and communicated those feelings," Manafort told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day." "The controversy you're talking about is not meaningful at all. She's not a candidate for office. She was expressing her personal feelings about her country and her husband and why he's best for the United States."

It is yet another unsettling episode for the Trump campaign at a time when many top donors are closely watching Trump and his operation to determine whether it is worth their investment this fall.

Don't you think all of the racism, bigotry and misogyny have been unsettling episodes as well?
